Discover the ease of converting energy from Kiloelectron-volts to Poundal-feet using Newtum's online tool. Engage with our keV to pdl·ft converter for accurate and swift conversions!
A Kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 electronvolts. It is commonly used in the field of particle physics and astrophysics to describe the kinetic energy of particles. One keV is equivalent to 1.60218 x 10^-16 joules. This unit is particularly useful when discussing the energies of subatomic particles, X-rays, and gamma rays, due to its appropriate scale for these phenomena.
Definition of Poundal-footA Poundal-foot (pdl·ft) is a unit of work or energy in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, also known as the British Engineering System. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one poundal acting through a displacement of one foot. In terms of more commonly used units, one pdl·ft is equivalent to 42.1401103 millijoules. This unit is not as widely used as its counterpart in the International System of Units, the joule.

1 pdl·ft = 1.60218 x 10^12 keV
Example 1:
convert 5 keV to pdl·ft:
5 keV = 5 × 6.241506 x 10^-14 pdl·ft = 3.120753 x 10^-13 pdl·ft
Example 2:
convert 50 keV to pdl·ft:
50 keV = 50 × 6.241506 x 10^-14 pdl·ft = 3.120753 x 10^-12 pdl·ft
The Kiloelectron-volt to Poundal-foot converter is a tool that emerged from the necessity to relate particle physics energy scales to mechanical work units. While keV is a standard in physics for small-scale energy measurements, pdl·ft offers a more tangible understanding of energy in mechanical terms.
